Boston, June -lCorrespondence of
the BEE. The summer season is almost
upon us and it promises to be one of un-
usual dullness. If it were not for q yacht
race now and then, the national league
base ball games, and the natural sportive
character of Boston people, the thousands
of unfortunates who will have to remain
in the city all or most all of the summer,
would have hard lot indeed. The light
opera season closed last week and the
heathenish strains of the ill-toothed
"Mikado" and the sepulchral dirge of
the Chorus of Ancestors are with us
no more. The rose bedecked Brides
maids of Ruddygore" have gone off
duty for the summer and the bad crimes
of bad baronet will trouble them no
more for time. Even Herman, the
far famed prestidigitateur (D, who has a
trim figure which he shows off to good
advantage IN broadcloth, knickerbockers
and black silk stockings, who wears
French moustache and an imperial nose,
who performs sleight of hand tricks in
seven different languages-has gone.

Madison Square theatre company in
"Jim the Penman" at Chicago, Mrs.
Booth will retire to her charming sum-
mer home at Manchester -by.the-sea,
where she will spend the summer with
her husband and her children, enjoying
to the fullest extent the outdoor existence

| seashore life. Mr.. Augustin Daly's folks,

so successfully before packed houses at

room for the appearance of another

fast accommodating itself to the demands
of the season, and after Il weeks pre-.
sentation of the spectacular "WOrld'
will come down to the popular summer
prices of 15 to IS cents. At the Hollis
Street, Rce's beautiful "Evangeline" still
finds great favor with the public, and the

THE INTEREST IN BASE BALL
seems to increase. Thirty thousand peo-
| pie saw the two games between Boston
and Detroit on Decoration day. How the
lovers of the game can stand it to have
Kelly's braves leave the Hub and 60 out
on the warpath, as they must need do, l
cannot understand. The Boston team
has certainly been doipg good work on
the diamond this year, and the general
| opinion around here is that they will give
| Detroit pretty close rub for first place.
Memorial day was, as usual, very gen.
| orally observed in Boston. Scarce any
business was transacted and people
| gathered by the thousands at the ceme-
teries to witness the decoration and par

| vices were principally under the auspices
| of Il. A. r. posts The fire companies of
| Boston also Very appropriately remem-
| bered their departed companions by
| floral decorations and other ceremonies.
| One of the most notable events which
took place here on Monday was the joint
meeting in the evening of the Central
Labor lyceum and
THE WENDELL PHILLIPS CLUB,

has met with reception in Boston quite
different from the ones he received in the
dominion. But of course nothing else
can be expected. Boston's chief foreign
element is Irish, many of her prominent
citizens are Irish, and the city IS full of
Irish symparhizers. Nothing is too good
for MIR. O'Brien in Boston.
